Abstract: BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that lipid metabolism and related diseases can affect the development of osteoporosis.
OBJECTIVE: Using bibliometric visualization analysis software to analyze and summarize the frontier content and research hotspots in the field of lipid metabolism affecting osteoporosis.
METHODS: Using the Web of Science core collection database as the retrieval platform, relevant literature regarding the effect of lipid metabolism on osteoporosis from 2004 to 2024 was retrieved. VOSviewer and CiteSpace were used for bibliometric and visual analyses.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 1 277 articles were included, and the number of articles on the effect of lipid metabolism on osteoporosis at home and abroad was increasing year by year. The number of articles published in China was 417, ranking first, and the United States was 243, ranking second. Shanghai Jiao Tong University ranked first with 30 articles. Professor Rosen Clifford J from Tufts University School of Medicine and Professor Recker Robert R from Clayton University were the most cited authors. The number of documents published in BONE in the Netherlands ranked first, and the JOURNAL OF CLINICAL ENDOCRINOLOGY & METABOLISM in England was the most cited journal. Bone mineral density, bone metabolism, menopause, and obesity were the core keywords, and they were also research hotspots in this field. The above results show that in the past 20 years, research in the field of lipid metabolism affecting osteoporosis has focused on the role of abnormal lipid metabolism in bone mineral density and bone metabolism, thereby regulating osteoporosis and post-menopause osteoporosis. Clarifying the pathway of this mechanism and “bone-lipid balance” is the future research idea and direction.
